welcome to mjolnir! GETTING STARTED Mjolnir is Thor’s hammer. You know, the ultimate weapon to crush your enemies. Or something like that. We’re from the USA, so we may not be up on all the Norse mythology, unless we saw it in a movie or something. 1. Choose an input and connect your source. Mjolnir provides both balanced XLR and single-ended RCA inputs, but you can only use one at a time. Choose the one you want and connect your source. But back to Mjolnir.
FRONT PANEL 6 3 1 1 Volume Knob. Turn it to the right to make the music louder. Stop before smoke comes out of your cans. Seriously. 2 Power On LED. When this is lit, the power is on. When it’s not lit ... well, you get the picture here. Mjolnir delays the output for 20 seconds when first turned on to protect against turn-on thumps. 3 Four-Pin XLR Headphone Jack. This is where you plug your balanced headphones in, using a standard 4-pin XLR connector.
BACK PANEL pre out bal in 3 sE IN SCH05A CIRCLOFET™ BALANCED HIGH-OUTPUT HEADPHONE AMPLIFIER bal 7 SE 1 1 XLR Balanced Inputs. Connect your balanced source here for best sound. Mjolnir does not convert balanced to single-ended and back again. 2 2 RCA Single-Ended Inputs. If you have a single-ended source, don’t despair. Mjolnir’s inherently balanced amplification stage converts every input to balanced output. But be sure to hit the switch (see #3.) caution: risk of electric shock— do not open.
FAQ I hear hum through the headphones, what do I do? It’s most likely a ground loop. To fix a ground loop, try a GFCI outlet or a ground loop isolator. Hey, the amp just clicked and I get no sound. What gives? Mjolnir has sophisticated internal protection for overcurrent and DC—did you just try to connect your unbalanced headphones? Or did you try to drive speakers with the amp? If so, you hit the protection. Unplug the headphones and turn the amp back on.
